From his abode in Landour, Mussoorie, Ruskin Bond has observed the beauty and serenity of nature, unspoilt. For over sixty years, the mountains, forests, birds and animals have inspired innumerable stories and tales by India's favourite author. In this book, a selection of his most insightful, informed, wise and witty writings about nature are brought to life by stunning watercolours by artist Prenita Dutt. If you had ever forgotten that humans too are creatures of nature, this book will reconnect you to your habitat. Nature, through Bond's delightful words, will educate and enlighten.
